Last update:07 November 2025

With Xmas just around the corner, you're probably already thinking about what would make the perfect Christmas gift for her. Whether you’re buying for your wife or girlfriend, a sister, best friend, or your mum, you’ll want to give a gift that makes her feel truly special!

This year, to help you avoid the predictable choices we’ve put together this unique list of creative Christmas gift ideas for women. From personalised gifts to luxurious spa experiences, read on for our top 10 Christmas gift ideas for women.

The top 10 Christmas gift ideas for her

1. Cosy customised hoodie and pet hoodie

Christmas jumpers are always good fun, especially if there’s something personal in the design. One unique Christmas gift idea for women is a jumper or hoodie that features a personalised print or moment. There are plenty of services that offer custom clothing designs, allowing you to add anything from an inside joke to a mantra, graphic or memorable photo. If she adores her four-legged friend, a matching pet version can also bring plenty of joy. When done right, a customised piece of clothing can be a thoughtful pick that adds a personal touch to her festive wardrobe.
 

2. Smart plant pots for the nature enthusiast

For the woman who adores greenery and has plans to add to their growing collection of houseplants, a smart plant pot is certainly an unusual Christmas gift idea for her.

Smart plant pots can have self-watering systems or send notifications with reminders when a plant needs some attention. These are quirky and techy, but perfect for busy women who love plants but worry they’ll struggle with keeping them alive.
 

3. Luxury writing set or journal

A tasteful writing set or a luxury journal will always be a timeless Christmas gift for women. Perfect for writing down thoughts, sketching ideas, or making sure memories are never lost, elegant journals make wonderful Christmas gift ideas for her.

Pair the writing set or journal with a National Book Tokens gift card so she can treat herself to a matching writing pen or a new book.
 

4. Tea lover's subscription

A subscription to a luxury tea service is among the most practical of our top 10 Christmas gift ideas for women. Perfect for mum’s and busy women, a tea subscription service allows her to enjoy new herbal and exotic teas each month. From the finest blends to limited batch world teas, give her a way to create special moments of calm throughout the day.
 

5. Luxury Spa Voucher

Every lady deserves some 'me time' after the hustle and bustle of the festive season. A spa experience voucher lets her choose her preferred treatment, whether it's a rejuvenating facial or a relaxing massage.

Consider the Red Letter Days gift card or the Buyagift gift card, both of which give her the freedom to choose what to indulge in, from afternoon spa sessions to full-day retreats at the UK’s top wellness centres.
 

6. Customised scarf

What's better than a scarf to keep warm in winter? A customised scarf that’s unique to her. Transform any scarf into a unique Christmas gift by getting it embroidered with her name or a special date. Opt for soft cashmere, wool or her favourite material and consider buying a handcrafted scarf from an independent designer or from a sustainable brand that uses ethically sourced materials. 
Quality scarves add style to any winter outfit and by going the extra step of getting it customised, you make her scarf just a little bit more special.
 

7. Essential oil diffuser

For women who prioritise their wellbeing or enjoy practicing yoga at home, an electric diffuser or ceramic oil burner paired with essential oils will go down a treat. As well as the health benefits, diffusers and oil burners create a serene atmosphere in the home, adding some zen to her environment.

Brighten her mood with orange essential oil, or opt for lavender for relaxation. The John Lewis gift card and the Lush gift card give access to home wellness products and premium cosmetics.
 

8. Cooking class experience gift

For the foodie in your life, a voucher for an interactive cooking class is a positive learning experience. Whether she wants to perfect her baking skills or master dishes in a new cuisine, a cooking class is the proper way to do it.

From learning how to make fresh Italian pasta to the art of preparing French patisseries, there's a cooking class for every culinary taste. The Red Letter Days gift card offers the flexibility to choose between cooking classes, gourmet dining experiences, or theatre shows with dinner included.
 

9. The freedom to choose with a Happy Holidays Gift Card

If she enjoys having the flexibility to choose exactly what she wants, the Happy Holidays Choice gift card is the ultimate Christmas gift idea for her. Whether she's eyeing a chic leather tote bag, a pair of luxurious slippers, essential beauty products, or a relaxing spa day this versatile gift card works across multiple brands, retailers, and experiences.

The festive Happy Holidays design adds a special Christmas touch, making it a perfect bonus Christmas present. Available in custom values from £25 all the way up to £500, she'll have the freedom to spend as she pleases on whatever takes her fancy.
 

10. A printed family photo album

For the thoughtful givers, romantics who love a wholesome Christmas present, gather a collection of photos from the past year and turn them into a beautifully printed family photo calendar. For mums and grandmas especially, a photo calendar full of precious memories reminds them of their grandchildren and the special life events moments from the previous year.

The time you put into putting this personal gift together shows how much you care, whilst creating something that will be treasured forever.

Tips for Christmas gift ideas for women

When deciding on Christmas gift ideas for her, think about her personality, lifestyle, and current interests. The best Christmas gifts are the result of observing what she genuinely enjoys rather than following the current trend. Think about experiences versus physical gifts and if you do decide on giving a physical gift, don't underestimate the power of personalisation. Adding her name, initials, or a special date can transform an ordinary item into a treasured keepsake.

If it’s getting close to Christmas Day and you’re still unsure about what to get her, multi-brand gift cards like the Happy Holidays Choice Gift Card give her complete freedom to spend on what she really wants. Plus, this is one of our gift cards that is available in either a physical or digital format, meaning it can be delivered instantly via email if necessary.
